Been writing my own, a fork that’s almost identical to the factory original. I think I messed up one of the .ini files, hair loss is happening on the scalp
Def just bloat. How am I supposed to carry all these limes while thinking about the metaphysical connotations of gender and society?
You carry these limes on a Limewire, duh
Ya’ll have gemders?
Pirated.
Remember, it’s not stealing, it’s pirating!
Lets do it together 💖
Factory default but apparently I’m one of those models that run a combination of software designed for other models.
Government issued and it was bloat AND it was proprietary gender. I don’t want any gender without access to the source, and the freedom to use, copy, modify, and redistribute (even charging a price) said gender as I wish.
Excluding copy and redistribute, is there a gender thats proprietary?
If it doesn’t respect the Four Essential Freedoms of Free Gender it is not Free and Open Source Gender.
-The freedom to use the gender as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).
-The freedom to study how the gender works, and change it so it does behave as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
-The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help others (freedom 2).
-The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
This is brilliant, I love it. It’s a joke, but it actually captures my experience of my assigned gender at birth perfectly.
It was freeware, but a nightmare to install. I learned several new languages that weren’t even necessary in the end. There was no wiki, just disparate posts on decade old forums, most of which were misinformation. Definitely a learning experience.
Data corruption, it’s a bunch of garbled stuff that I can’t make heads or tails off.
Miraculously, everything keeps working. So I don’t dare to interfere because it might crash the system :)
When I first booted, it was assigned then
Lol uninstalled it was bloat unironically here.
My first exploration of gender fluidity was realizing that on the internet, my bits don’t matter and i don’t experience gender, so why do sites keep asking?
May I respectfully ask you about how it is like being gender fluid?
Almost nothing is different but i feel less restricted.
It also important to note i am an autist and i have always felt like the expectation of society dont match my reality.
When i got together with my partner i did not have much experience and i warned her i might be asexual (i am not but sex remains overrated)
I am still a dad to my kids, a husband to my wife. Because in context to them my gender makes sense. There are definitely some gender stereotypes in our household even. Outside my household i just found i dont need to express gender, it rarely comes up. Very few people know but i am not hiding it.
I am super chill about pronouns though, you can call me whatever, as a teen i got upset when people thought i was a girl for my long hair, now a compliment.
The biggest perk is not caring about how many products are gendered, i just get the stuff i like no matter if its pink with flowers. I refuse to apologize or be embarrassed for my harmless expression of personal taste.
I have always questioned certain things like genders for clothes limiting my expression, i do not identify as a women but i do recognize a feminine part, there are typed of Victorian dresses that i think would look awesome with my long hair and a beard.
I am against alpha male bully attitudes and a much more emotional and softer person then is expected of me.
As an adult I realized i love dancing and i now know i might have even liked ballet but i never got into any of it cause dancing was for my sisters.
My Minecraft skin has always appeared more feminine and i know thats not just the guy plays girl trope. As an austist that game is some sort of sanctum for me to be myself. It may seem small but ut was one of the first clear positive feelings with female expression. I just didn’t know it yet but i already subconsciously understood that in virtual space expressing my biological sex has no point.
My dad has a complex history and was bullied into believing they where gay and was thought not to cry or show emotion. I turned that into the most Powerfull and brave thing you can do as a man (or other) is whatever you feel like and not care about how other people may perceive you as not fitting an expected standard. And emotions are just life, crying is psychological progress. Knowing what is good for you isn’t embarrassing.
I heard Nemo on eurosong, with the power that comes from them you can build twice the man my dad believed he acted like. Their song made me tell my partner about my realization. They took it well.
Thank you for taking time to answer my question, I really appreciate hearing your life story, hope you have an amazing, wonderful day!
Isn’t this dynamically assigned at boot? I’m still not sure about how (different forms of) gender fluidity work. I believe I personally am agender but am not sure yet and still confused.
Brains are unique so identify comes in many flavors.
Many people experience a uniform and unchanging sense of gender identity, This can be anywhere on the spectrum. Binary, between or other, kitty.
Gender fluidity as I understand it is more dynamic and can change, for some people day by day for me its the social context and the logical realization that except for sex my sex should be irrelevant.
I still have a defined radius which is guess is assigned at boot. I identity as agender, nonbinary, and between male and agender but i have never identified as a women.
I’d never really thought about those kinds of combinations. I’m still not sure how one can indentify as a binary gender so yeah.
Non-binary to me is generally just an umbrella term for between or outside the binary genders (and intersex? (Should be a non-binary sex though right?)). When you say you identify as genderfluid in form of a mix of agender, non-binary, and between male and agender. Does this mean that the non-binary part is a part that exists outside of the other ones, that is more difficult to name/describe?
Also the last part (between agender and male) confuses me. Is that the assigned upon boot part? Or is it actually a mix?
I really want a mathematical representation of gender but it would be impossible to make it inclusive and useful.
why do sites keep asking?
Collecting and selling your data for “marketing”!
Thats why i just randomize my details these days.
Galaxy brain: gender fluidity to keep the advertisers on their toes
The “Work/Government Issued” one make me laugh because I served in the US military, and a handful of years ago, they approved gender reassignment surgery for trans people.
You’re allowed to receive one “cosmetic” surgery for free while serving in the US military, and this counted for that. So you could literally be “issued” a new gender by the government, for free.
Trump became president, and while military people were signing up for gender reassignment surgery, he randomly ordered that trans people weren’t allowed in the military and had to be kicked out immediately. So a bunch of people who outed themselves to take advantage of the surgery suddenly were at risk of losing their jobs.
Fortunately, the Department of Defense put a hold on those orders and managed to talk Trump out of kicking people out for being trans. But I guarantee, if he becomes president again, he’s not going to be talked out of it again.
Military issued boobs is a hilarious sentence, wonder if they come in camo
Breast augmentation is one of the more common cosmetic surgeries in the military. I actually knew someone who had hers reduced in size because they were too big and interfering with her life. Plus, wearing heavy flak vests with armor plating is painful if you have boobs, and next-to-impossible if they’re massive.
I also had another coworker who got implants because she said her flat chest was affecting her mental health, self-image, and confidence. Now she’s one of the more confident and outgoing people I know in the military.
The most common surgery, actually, was LASIK/PRK eye surgery. For most of my career, it was considered a cosmetic surgery. The military defined “cosmetic surgery” as any unnecessary surgery a member elected to have done. You didn’t need to fix your eyesight, because the military would issue you glasses. So it was cosmetic.
However, in the last handful of years I was in, someone successfully argued that getting your eyes corrected would improve your effectiveness at work, and thus was a benefit to the military, not just the member. Plus, they started allowing people to become pilots if they had the PRK surgery. (You need perfect vision to be a pilot, and eye surgery used to ban you from the job.) So eye surgery is no longer a cosmetic surgery.
I like the idea of prating my gender. Sounds like I pilfered someone’s penis. Which is just an objectively fun sentence to say.
No, you misunderstand how pirating works.
You find yourself someone with a working set of genitalia that may or may not have been slightly tampered with, you click and in an unspecified amount of time you have those genitalia working on you system (may require some fiddling with the settings).
After all this you can redistribute you genitalia to whoever requests this for as long as you are willing to provide them, or even stop your own distribution without losing acces to operate it and fiddle with it at will.
so it’s dick cloning 👍
My sex is factory default and my gender is self written(in c of course)
Uninstalled for sure. Obviously this is just a personal thing but any gender just feels like an arbitrary list of restrictions to me.
I identify as a cis male but essentially feel the same way. The social trappings of my gender are just that. It has about as much to do with my actual identity as my hair colour does. “Factory default” because I don’t care enough to bother.
